## **Example Workflows**

### **Changing Tone**

> ***You:***\_ "This email sounds too harsh. Make it more diplomatic while keeping the key points."\_
>
> ***AI:***\_ Rewrites the email with softer language, suggests diplomatic phrasing\_

### **Expanding Content**

> ***You:***\_ "The benefits section is too thin. Expand it with three concrete examples and use the web search tool to find them."\_
>
> ***AI:***\_ Adds detailed examples with supporting details\_

### **Restructuring**

> ***You:***\_ "This reads like a wall of text. Break it into clear sections with headers and vary the size of the paragaphs to make it more organic."\_
>
> ***AI:***\_ Reorganizes content, adds descriptive headings\_

### **Format Conversion**

> ***You:***\_ "Convert these meeting notes into a professional summary email."\_
>
> ***AI:***\_ Transforms bullet points into well-structured email format\_

## **Tips for Effective Editing**

### **Be Clear About Intent**

* ❌ "Fix this"
* ✅ "Make this introduction grab the reader's attention with a compelling hook"

### **Provide Context**

* ❌ "Make it better"
* ✅ "This is for a job application—make it sound confident but not arrogant"

### **Iterate**

Sometimes you strike gold right away but don't expect perfection on the first try. Sometimes working with AI is about iteration and refining your prompt again and again until you get what you want:

1. Make an initial request
2. Review the changes
3. Ask for refinements: "Good, but make the ending stronger by looping back to the initial points in the opening sections and driving them home."

## **What the AI Can Edit**

* **Prose** - Articles, essays, reports, emails
* **Creative writing** - Stories, scripts, marketing copy
* **Technical content** - Documentation, specifications
* **Business writing** - Proposals, presentations, memos
* **Academic writing** - Papers, abstracts, literature reviews

## **Combining with Other Tools**

The AI Assistant works alongside other Inkstone tools:

1. **Research first** - Use Deep Research to gather information
2. **Write your draft** - Get your ideas down
3. **Edit with AI** - Refine and polish with the Assistant
4. **Verify** - Use Fact Checking to ensure accuracy
5. **Polish** - Final Proofreading pass

## **Undoing Changes**

If an edit isn't what you wanted:

* Use **Undo** (`Cmd/Ctrl + Z`) to revert
* Ask the AI to try again with different guidance
* Request specific adjustments to the edit
